[Bug 275379] Re: Intrepid: KDM Sometimes Doesn't Appear
This problem has started occurring again. This time though, one in about five boots I get a message saying that Ubuntu has started in safe graphics mode. If I click cancel on the safe graphics mode selection, X starts up fine with the correct resolution and videocard driver. I think the new problem is actually the same as this one. Before KDM would take a very long time to restart and sit at a black screen. This time it still sits at a blank screen but later comes up with the safe graphics mode notice. I'm attaching all of the log files I can think of. ** Attachment added: "dmesg.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18655763/dmesg.txt -- Intrepid: KDM Sometimes Doesn't Appear https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/275379 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call in the KDM log looks interesting, I have no idea what it is though ;-) Moving bug to nvidia-graphics-drivers-177, it appears to me there is no issue with KDM whatsoever, it just tires starting the X server over and over again, until it gives up and goes to failsafe mode, which apparently is working. ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers-177 (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: kdebase-workspace => nvidia-graphics-drivers-177 -- Intrepid: KDM Sometimes Doesn't Appear https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/275379 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdebase-workspace in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

Did this happen again? If so the kdm.log would be good to have. Also, I suggest starting with kernel option verbose instead of splash... at grub select the entry you want to boot - press e - select the kernel options - press e - remove the trailing splash - add verbose - press enter - press b Note that you will have to do this for every boot, a constant option would be to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst accordingly. ** Changed in: kdebase-workspace (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- Intrepid: KDM Sometimes Doesn't Appear https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/275379 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdebase-workspace in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

[Bug 275379] Re: Intrepid: KDM Sometimes Doesn't Appear
as i have tested the boot up with nvidia enabled and without, always with same result, congruent to initial explained symptoms by Jeremy LaCroix, I assume that this can not be related to nvidia. clearly it is related to usplash, as switching it off in grub, this problem does not occur. ** Changed in: usplash (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: nvidia-graphics-drivers-177 => usplash Status: Fix Released => Incomplete -- Intrepid: KDM Sometimes Doesn't Appear https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/275379 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 275379] Re: Intrepid: KDM Sometimes Doesn't Appear
As Harald said, it seems to be a driver bug, not KDM's: I am using GNOME, and today, X crashed (and I couldn't make it restart, but this is going to another bug report) and I found that error message "xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call" in my Xorg.20.log. I am using a GeForce 9600M GT with nvidia-glx-177 version 177.80 on Intrepid.

I just ran all the updates today, and this is happening even more frequently. (The last two times I started my computer). One time, the screen was completely scrambled in black and green hues. (Although I can't make the scrambling problem happen again). Three boots ago it did load up just fine, and sometimes the speed of the particular boot seems to make a difference. -- Intrepid: KDM Sometimes Doesn't Appear https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/275379 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 275379] Re: Intrepid: KDM Sometimes Doesn't Appear
Thank you for looking into it. Another thing that is really weird is that if you click cancel on the safe graphics mode selection, the X server starts fine normally with the full refresh rate and glxgears. It appears to me that something is taking too long to respond.

This did happen again, however I've not had this problem happen after the kernel update today. I rebooted six times and it was fine. I recommend to close the bug for now, and if it happens again, I'll grab the kdm.log file.
